Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
The 49ers let Fitzgerald fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Ryan Fitzgerald tumbling to the 49ers in pick 232 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The cost of the Tafuna reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Mukuba pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver, running back and other spots still on the board.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams at the 17th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in Round 2, Pick 11 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick49 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
You do not let a safety like Nick Emmanwori reach pick 49 and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick75 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at No. 75 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 99 on Andrew Mukuba with wide receiver, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jermari Harris
A tidy bit of business in the 112th pick, where Jermari Harris graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jake Majors
The board fumbled Jake Majors all the way to pick No. 138, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick189 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
They read the board right and Joshua Gray was the payoff at the 189th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
They robbed the room for Oronde Gadsden II here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
A top-tier specialist at a bargain, Ryan Fitzgerald in slot 232, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick255 Rnd7 Junior Tafuna
They reached a country mile for Junior Tafuna at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
